This wasn't my experience in over a decade in the industry.

It's Windows dominant, but our environment was typically around a 70/30 split of Windows/Linux servers.

Cerner shops in particular are going to have a larger Linux footprint. Radiology, biomed, interface engines, and med records also tended to have quite a bit of nix infrastructure.
